Ragi ,also know as Kezhvaragu/Kaypai(in tamil) or Finger millet is very good for health. It is a very good source of fiber , low in glycemic index ,so good for diabetes.Its also rich in Iron,Calcium and Thiamine, low in fat... so what else ... its also tasty and lots of dishes like Idly,Dosa, Porridge,Pudding(Kali)Adai, Noodles ,Puttu and Uppma using ragi rava

I have just done Puttu,Noodles,Porridge,Uppma ,pudding and adai but have not tried idly and dosai.My neighbour Madhavi recently gave me this dosai...It was so tasty..that too with kara chutney it was yummyyyy...This recipe goes to Lisa's Celebration of Indian food contest
